The Necessity

Rome may not have been built in a day, but Invado Solutions was.

In Oct of 2014, our founder Christopher left a routine medical check-up with an unexpected diagnosis: a chronic neurological condition he thought had been resolved, hadn’t. It would require brain surgery as soon as possible, and potentially every few years thereafter. So much for “take two of these and call me in the morning.”

While still trying to absorb the news on his drive home, Christopher pulled over to answer a call from his boss: “I’m sorry Chris…it’s not you, it’s us…we’re letting you go.” It was one of those moments that was so surreal and unbelievable it was almost comical.

CEO & Founder,Invado Solutions

Brain surgery and being fired, all in a single day. The next day Invado Solutions was born.

“Looking back, it was the hardest day of my life.” Christopher shares. “I was trying to process the utter inconceivability of it all, and at the same time calculating my reality: family…mortgage…3 kids…college tuition. While some try to give me credit for perseverance, or my Jersey-inspired grit, the truth is that it’s simply what I had to do. Doing nothing was not an option.”

“The path forward was obvious: launch a consultancy to help demand-driven marketing leaders exhaust the full potential of their Salesforce investments.”

As Christopher considered the trajectory of his career, the next chapter became clear. As former CMO of Manticore (an early leader in the marketing automation space) he had earned a reputation as a pioneer in the industry. He also had a breadth and depth of experience with Salesforce marketing technology. Add to that a natural, entrepreneurial spirit, and the path forward was obvious: launch a consultancy to help demand-driven marketing leaders exhaust the full potential of their Salesforce investments.

The Name

From the Latin word meaning “to conquer or take new territory,” “Invado” captures our relentless drive to help clients push through their marketing challenges to drive more demand and a bigger impact on the bottom line. Invado Solutions also embodies the tenacious, “keep on” mentality that first motivated our founding and remains at the heart of how we operate today. We have an “ever onward” spirit that is fiercely committed to always finding a path forward. No matter the problem, we will find a solution.

Connection

“Partnership is key.”

Relationships matter. We are committed to killer results, as well as lasting relationships built on collaboration, mutual respect and trust.

“Love – really love – something…”

We love what we do, and our enthusiasm drives us to settle for nothing but the best. There is an energy that comes from doing what you are both good at and passionate about, and we strive to bring that vitality to your challenges and results.

Proactive

“Create a path, don’t follow one.”

We don’t wait for ideas or answers, we provide them. We are committed to leaning in and hands-on helping to bring solutions to life, not simply just provide information to you about what could be done.

Persevere

“Keep moving forward.”

Can’t isn’t an option. In the spirit of our founding story, we always find a way. No matter the challenge, roadblock or conundrum, we simply will not quit. Rather we will always proactively look for another way to solve the problem.

Candor

“Direct diplomacy.”

As people that care about real relationships and best-of-the-best results, we won’t tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear in order to get to levels beyond where even you thought you could go.

The takeaway? You can count on us. You have lofty goals and complex marketing challenges. They may not require brain surgery, but they’re complicated. We have what it takes to solve them…and we’re up for the challenge.
